35 – Large-Scale Human Experiments

“Keep in mind. If you inflict too much pain from the beginning, the total amount of pain you can get will be less. So, rather than inflicting strong pain from the beginning, the key is to slowly let go of pain that is difficult to handle.

A place where human blood hardens and becomes covered in dark red.

There, a man wearing an unbecomingly white high-ranking priest’s attire was supervising management with a wide smile on his face.

He calmly admired the screams coming from nearby as if they were music played for him.

I slowly approached and spoke to an old man who was writhing under torture nearby.

“I have one question. I understand that you feel pain to survive. “Why do you want to give up your life because of that pain?”

“Kill… “Kill me.”

“Survival is the foundation of all living things. “I don’t understand why someone would give up their life so quickly just because they felt pain.”

“… Wow… “Tsk.”

He looked at the old man as if he really didn’t know, but then shook it off and spoke as if his interest had cooled.

“Well, I guess this isn’t important. Dear believers, it may be difficult, but I hope you will try a little harder. “The more we work, the closer the heavenly god will come.”

He smiled brightly, as if he was looking forward to the day when the Heavenly God would descend.

He took out a snake-shaped dagger from his arms and spoke.

“All of this for the Heavenly God.”

After saying those words, I was about to stab the old man.

A man blocks the way with his body so broken that you can’t even make out his shape.

He was looking at this rather interesting sight with a smile.

The man who protected the old man spoke urgently with a trembling face.

“Please, please. Please just save my grandfather. And, I was tortured and killed… I am … I will get it. Please just grandpa… “

He expresses his reaction by saying that he really likes those words.

“Is that so? Then let me suggest the opposite. “If I kill your grandfather with this dagger, I will let you live.”

“… Yes?”

“Was it too difficult to understand? The story is that if you kill your grandfather with this dagger, he will be saved.”

At those words, the man’s pupils drop and he looks at his priest.

The priest stared into the man’s eyes and smiled slightly.

“We’re both going to die anyway. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could live, too? “I’m sure your grandfather would like that too.”

If you think about it rationally, it would be better to kill at least one person because it would be better for him to live.

That’s why the man can’t even answer and just stares blankly at the dagger.

The priest looked at the man like that and spoke with a cool expression on his face.

“I’m sick of it now.”

Then he waved his hand, signaling to deal with these two, and walked forward.

* * * * *

I brought a guard knight who resides within the family to prepare for any unexpected incident.

To be honest, I wanted to come alone, even if it was an escort.

‘If anything, a problem may arise.’

I thought it would be better to have minimal insurance, so I set it up next to it like a folding screen.

As I was sitting next to him like that, the escort driver who came with me spoke to me as if he was somewhat anxious.

“Hey, master. “It’s dangerous to walk around this late.”

“It’s okay.”

“Of course… There wouldn’t be a crazy person who would mess with Lercie Street. Occasionally, there is a guy who is really crazy… “It would be better to stay safe if possible.”

Is it because you may have to take responsibility if a problem arises?

Or, I don’t know if he’s saying this because he’s worried about me since there are so many enemies in the Lercie family.

‘No matter what happens, I can’t quit now.’

Deciding to ignore it and proceed with work, I slowly climbed up to the roof.

‘Is it there?’

The inn that Espin mentioned and the underground water pipe that runs underneath it.

After confirming this, I thought for a moment and then looked around.

‘It’s eerily quiet.’

Even if it’s late in the evening, there’s a sheriff or a drunk or two… There are likely to be vagabonds at least.

I couldn’t hide my surprise as I looked at the street without a single ant baby in sight.

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought something was strange.

When I made that decision, I quickly looked around and looked around.

Perhaps it was because of the fog that vaguely filled the streets that other clues that seemed important could not be found.

As I was clicking my tongue while watching this, the escort who brought me chuckled and spoke to me.

“Wait a minute… young master. “It looks like someone here has released a sleep fog.”

“Sleep fog?”

“Yes. Like that fog, it’s a sleeping pill… “It is a magic medicine used to put large numbers of ordinary people without magic resistance to sleep.”

I spoke with a small smile at those words.

“That’s right.”

I briefly laughed at the conclusion that became clearer and took a seat on the roof.

‘There was a description like this in the original novel.’

[Let the hazy smoke fill the streets. Members of the Heavenly God Church dragged all the people and moved them deep underground.]

‘In other words, the story is that ordinary people have been transported deep underground since the fog was created… ‘

The story was that there were no ordinary people in that inn, and only people from the Heavenly God Church remained.

When I reached that conclusion, I took a deep breath and decided to ‘do what I had to do.’

‘I didn’t expect this would be my first time using a large-scale area attack spell like this.’

Even taking this into account, I thought it was a pretty good testing ground and raised my mana.

The first magic created by combining all the research results accumulated at an abnormal speed and my unrealistic talent.

The biggest consideration when creating the magic was ‘power’.

All kinds of power modifiers were used to the extent that a single spell could change the situation.

‘So, the amount of mana used is too much.’

I think this can be handled with the mana I have built up so far.

Lercier’s unique sharp and pure mana was compressed into one place.

“… Young master?”

The guard knight who was watching this looked at me with a puzzled expression, probably realizing that the magic I was trying to use was unusual.

Soon, he speaks urgently to me with a shocked expression.

“Master!”

I’m guessing you shouldn’t use it.

I let those words fall into my ears and shouted briefly.

“Original explosion.”

An attack magic created by using space compression, the first part of ancient magic, to the limit.

It was a magic that sent powerful lightning magic to one place and exploded everything around it.

I fired it at the very center of the inn where the humans of the Celestial Church were gathered and chanted additional magic.

‘Space compression.’

The spread range is artificially compressed, making it explode in a smaller range than the original spread range.

I smiled with some satisfaction as I watched the explosion that was supposed to spread out being compressed in one place and concentrated again in the exact center.

– Kwaaa!

A strong explosion sound.

Perhaps it was because so much powerful magic was concentrated in one place and exploded.

A light so large that it could blind one’s eyes enveloped everything around it.

In an instant, the inn, enveloped in light, exploded to the point where I couldn’t even see its shape.

It begins to burn, throwing pieces of wood everywhere.

I used a shield to block the pieces of wood that were quickly bouncing around me and spoke briefly to the guard next to me.

“Then let’s enter.”

“… Yes? “You mean entry?”

I thought it would take a long time to explain, so I just nodded and went down to the inn, where only ashes remained.

Shards of wood that shatter into ash as soon as you step on them.

I am looking around with satisfaction, realizing that it is more powerful than I thought.

I was able to find a fairly large hole in one corner going down.

‘I guess it’s there.’

After discovering this, I massaged my somewhat stiff shoulders.

I pulled out the mace that was hanging from my waist and spoke to the guard knight.

“Then follow me carefully.”

“… Yes.”

It looks like he just gave up and decided to follow what has already happened.

I went downstairs, laughing and hugging the escort driver.

No matter how powerful it was, it appears that it could not penetrate the underground water.

I see the underground waterway in relatively good condition and feel the need to increase penetration next time.

I could feel the strong, disgusting smell of blood wafting from afar.

‘It seems like I came to the right place.’

I was slowly walking forward when I remembered the term “Testing ground for large-scale human experiments.”

“That’s right.”

Suddenly, dozens of zombies block my path and begin to block the entrance.

‘That’s fun.’

I was trying to activate magic to deal with all those zombies.

Something interesting suddenly occurred to me and I tried using ‘magic control’ instead of attack magic.

‘Obviously things like chimeras and zombies created through human experiments are controlled with their own mana.’

I tried to control magic, thinking that if I could find the unique mana and steal it, I could use it in reverse.

“What?”

It was easier to take ownership of the zombies than I thought.

I laughed to myself at this conclusion and gave the order to the zombies to charge into the enemy camp.
